Women are banned from soccer matches in Iran and arrested if they’re caught there. Offside is a high spirited comedy that sees young female footie fans disguise themselves as males so they can slip into Tehran's stadium to watch a World Cup qualifier.
Inspired by director Jafar Panahi’s own daughter, this 2006 film was shot in Iran but never shown there. It’s still banned in Iran today.
Tickets £10 includes a drink (beer / wine/ soft) and a 'special knocker pasty' made by the award-winning Jill Martin of The Town Kitchen.
Doors & refreshments from 7pm. Film starts 7.30pm
